Bug fixes, including:

Fixed issue where shared link recipient lookup was slow for company accounts with very large numbers of users.

February 2017

iPhone App 4.2.0

Improved performance and stability of Favorites when the app is in the background

Known issue: On the previous app version (3.11.1) user is not able to see EU recipients name on the manage screen

September 2016

iPhone App 3.11.0

Favorites now sync in priority order. Recently-changed files sync first, ensuring that you get the content you need more quickly.

Favorites now upload and download in the background. See below for current limitations.

Changed files now upload and download in the background, so if you start a download or upload and then switch out of the app, file transfer will continue.

The “Get Help” link on the Settings screen now opens the same web page as the desktop clients. This change allows companies to optionally replace the URL with their own specific support URL (Admins can contact Syncplicity for more details).

In this release, iOS adds a pause between each successive file that uploads or downloads in the background. While the files will continue to transfer, large numbers of files will take a large amount of time. This iOS limitation will improve in future versions.

In this release, file updates that happen on the server, while the app is in the background, will not sync until Syncplicity is brought to the foreground. [For example, someone else changes a file in one of your Favorited folders.] This limitation will improve in future versions.

June 2016

iPhone App 3.10.0

Enhanced folder sharing allows a folder owner to determine which recipients are allowed to share that folder. The folder owner can now select specific Editor or Reader recipients and allow them to re-share that folder. Previously, this ability was either on or off for all recipients. This option is set for individual shared folders.

Upload button is now more visible as the primary call to action on the Uploads screen

Last-used upload folder is remembered, so you don’t have to pick the destination folder every time you upload from the top level folders view

Thumbnail image previews are now displayed for standard image files such as JPEG and PNG.

AirWatch admins: a new PinLoginDomains key/value pair lets you whitelist the email domains that are allowed to log in on managed devices. This can be used to prevent a user on a managed device from logging out of their corporate managed Syncplicity account and logging back in to a personal or trial account.

Stability enhancements and crash fixes.

April 2016

iPhone App 3.9.0

Power Level sync settings are now automatic. When the battery level on your device drops below 20%, sync will pause. When you plug in your device, sync will resume.

The ability to set Favorites no longer depends on battery level, group policies or other settings. You can always mark Syncplicity files and folders as Favorites. If your policies and battery level allow, then Favorites will sync (as long as the app is open in the foreground).

You no longer need to watch the tutorials again if you happen to logout and log back in again! If you want to reset the tutorials and watch them again, choose “Reset First Time Launch” in the Settings screen of the Syncplicity app.

Improved international support for the display of date, time, number and currency formats.

Many bug and crash fixes, including:

Improvements and fixes for Favorites

Push notifications improvements

Email notifications are sent properly when sharing links

App is more responsive while syncing many files

Fixes for multiple problems affecting data transfer limits

Improvements to the way Group Policy overrides affect the app

Security: when using network shares, remote data wipe now removes all bookmark info from the Favorites screen

Corporate login now happens inside the app, rather than switching to a web browser

A “Login with a browser” link allows for Safari browser login if needed

Share extension now lets you send files to Syncplicity from any app that supports the iOS Share feature: photos, videos, text files and more! This feature can also be used to save files from any of the Microsoft Office applications into Syncplicity
